"An essential investment" that costs nothing? Just step outside!

I love his reminder that getting kids outside has the added "side effect" of investing in our own mental, physical, and emotional health.

Don't miss this quote -- and so much more -- in Richard Louv's book, "Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder". https://amzn.to/3K90Qrf

🌿 Understanding Behaviour in Early Years 🌿
In the early years, every behaviour tells a story. Behind every action, there’s a feeling. And behind that feeling, there’s a need. 💡
Instead of focusing solely on behaviour, let’s take a step back and ask:
✨ What is this child feeling?
✨ What need are they trying to express?
When we respond with empathy and meet their needs, we nurture emotional well-being, strengthen connections, and support positive development. ❤️

Happy Earth Day everyone.

Let’s carry this wisdom with us every day.
